Chapter 61: The Teahouse
"Because man has betrayed the goddess. ”
Jinxiu's voice was a little soft, but Murong Qing still heard it.
He heard him continue: "Humanity has betrayed the Divine Maiden, so ...... In order to retaliate, she chose to help the demon clan. ”
Murong Qing's expression was a little unreal in the night, but there was a very firm meaning in his voice: "No." ”
Jinxiu looked sideways and asked, "How does Master Young Master know that it won't?"
Murong Qing lowered his head slightly and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "She will not take revenge on humans." ”
Jinxiu didn't continue to ask, but instead used the cover of others to observe the flaws of the trap birds.
There was a sudden and intense chill in the air.
Edgeworth's enemies almost subconsciously sensed that something was wrong, but they were still a step too late.
Suddenly a cold snap broke out on the ground of the Tianshan Mountains, and I don't know where it began, and the ice covered all parts of Yemen City inch by inch, and even everything in the sky was frozen.
The trap birds fell one after another, and the people who were walking with Edgeworth reacted very quickly to evacuate the sky above Yemen, but those who did not react were also frozen and fell to the ground.
This sudden accident not only surprised Jinxiu and the others, but Shen Yan was also shocked when he looked outside.
Fortunately, the cold snaps were only raging in Yemen, not outside the city.
Originally, he planned to let the people on the ninth floor leave as soon as possible, but at this moment, Shen Yan also put down his hand that had only raised half of it.
"Looks like I'm here just in time?"
Demon Ye's cold voice sounded in his ears, making Shen Yan subconsciously look over.
"Red Prince?!" she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw someone coming, and then said, "It's great that you're here too......."
Before he finished speaking, a little red light suddenly lit up in the city.
Red Peony originally wanted to say something, but when she saw this, she looked at it with her eyebrows.
"What are those?" Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a little strange as he watched the red light, which was originally only a little smaller, keep getting bigger.
Red Peony said: "It's a flame." Hurry up, while my ice hasn't melted, and take these people behind you into the city to save people. ”
"Good. When Shen Yan heard this, he hurriedly took the people on the ninth floor behind him and galloped into the city of Yemen.
By the time he arrived, Jinxiu had already taken a few people who were not frozen like him to find the place where the trap bird fell, and carefully smashed the ice to rescue the people inside the trap bird.
The arrival of the red peony has made it much easier to break the ice. Because this ice was originally made by him, he can naturally manipulate/control it as he wishes.
Although it took some time to avoid touching the mechanism in the belly of the bird, with the concerted efforts of everyone, most of the people were saved. The other part of the people who were not saved had been swallowed up by the growing flames.
When he withdrew from Yemen City at the last moment, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a little worried. If we could have done it faster, wouldn't we have been able to save everyone?
Compared to her caring about not saving everyone, Jinxiu and the others cared about the sudden flames.
"Those, what kind of fire?"
"Since it can melt my ice, it's no ordinary flame. ”
Jinyue and the red peony asked questions one after another. There are countless famous and nameless fires in this world, and no one can swear that they know everything. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with Red Peony's answer.
Jin Yue subconsciously glanced at it a few more times, and when he looked sideways, he saw Jin Xiu standing beside Murong Qing and asked, "Young Master has seen this kind of flame?"
"I've never seen it. Murong Qing just shook his head, changed the subject and asked, "Now that there is a sea of fire in Yemen City, it is better to send those rescued people to the nearest town for healing first." ”
Jinxiu nodded and said, "Young Master is the most knowledgeable among us, so Master Lao will follow this matter." ”
Murong Qing smiled and said, "They are also the people of Dafu, these are my business." ”
Jinxiu didn't say anything more, and motioned to Jinyue, who was standing on the other side, to hand him a magic weapon that could carry living things, so as to save the trouble of having to send these people away.
Until Murong Qing had already turned into a sword light and disappeared, Shen Yan was still a little strange, since there was still such a magic weapon, why did he ask himself to bring the people from the ninth floor with him? This time, none of them seemed to come in handy.
Although she was curious, she wisely did not ask at this time.
Jinxiu looked at the direction Murong Qing had left, and said slowly, "This young master really has a problem. ”
Shen Yan was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Young City Lord, what did you find?"
Jinxiu said: "Along the way, I talked to him and found that he is not biased towards the demon race, but he is not very friendly to the human race, but there is great hostility. Now I don't know why, it's hiding such hostility. However, although it is not known what his purpose is, it is clear that he is still on the side of humanity for the time being......."
Speaking of this, Jinxiu frowned slightly, and her eyes fell on the Yemeni city where there were still a few scattered flames left.
"Since that young master is not in danger now, there is no need to waste too much time on him. Now....... It's better to get the matter done in Yemen as soon as possible. ”
Strange to say, the entire city of Yemen experienced a fire, but nothing was burned except for the trap birds and the demons and people who wielded them.
Red Peony may have seen Shen Yan's doubts, and said: "The strange fires in the world are all spiritual, and they will only act according to the wishes of their masters. The arsonists behind the scenes may have set this fire just to destroy the trapbirds. ”
Jinyue shook his head and said, "Maybe it's not just for this. If it was just to destroy the trap birds, the flames in the city should have been extinguished by now, but now there are still a few places that are faint but have no tendency to be extinguished. ”
Shen Yan asked, "The trap birds have all been burned, but there are still a few flames left, could it be ....... Is it to prevent anyone from re-entering the city of Yemen?"
As soon as she said this, the others took a closer look. At this glance, it was found that most of the remaining flames were distributed in various places into the city.
Miss Shen's words are not unreasonable. Jinxiu nodded, looked at the situation in the city, and said, "Uncle Yue, you are the fastest among us, why don't you go over and see if these flames are preventing others from entering the city." ”
When Jinyue heard this, he walked over and patted Jinxiu's shoulder and said, "Leave it to me, nephew." ”
Jinxiu advised: "This is just to test the reaction of the flames, everything is based on safety, but if there is anything wrong, Uncle Shi will immediately evacuate and do not go deeper." ”
Jinyue had already walked to the edge of the high slope, and waved his hand without looking back: "Senior nephew, don't worry, I know how to measure." ”
With that, he disappeared in place, turning into a sword light and heading towards the city of Yemen.
After he left, Jinxiu turned around and looked at the others: "Miss Shen, you take the people on the ninth floor to set up camp near the Lixi City Gate first. We entered the city earlier and found it relatively safe at the west gate. If the flames that Uncle Yue went to explore here are really preventing others from entering the city, we can choose to enter there at that time. ”
Shen Yan thought about it, and as far as he could see, those flames were indeed distributed relatively little at the west city gate. So he nodded and said, "I see." ”
Jinxiu then said to Red Peony: "The Lord of the Red Mansion and a few uncles will also walk with Miss Shen." ”
"Good. "The other uncles are not people who talk much, and they haven't talked much along the way, and now Jinxiu has arranged it without any doubt and nodded in agreement.
However, the red peony looked at Jinxiu, but she didn't say anything, and turned around and went towards the west city gate.
After arriving, Shen Yan chose a relatively safe place for the people on the ninth floor to set up camp, and the senior uncles from Yunfu Heavenly City were also helping. Shen Yan saw the red peony and looked at the city gate, as if he had something on his mind.
I thought about going forward to ask, but Shen Yan quickly realized that although he and Red Peony had experienced so many things, they actually didn't have much communication. So he swallowed the words he wanted to ask, and instead helped the others set up the tent together.
According to Jinxiu's meaning, they may be delayed here for a long time. Shen Yan looked sideways at a senior uncle next to him, thought about it and asked, "Senior, what happened when you arrived in Yemen City earlier.......?
Listening to Shen Yan's babbling, the uncle she accosted looked at his face as a very gentle person, and he did prove this when he spoke, his voice carried a kind of elder-like gentleness, and said unhurriedly: "Most of the demon clans are good at the art of charm and concealment. Miss Shen hadn't seen a single figure outside, perhaps because they had cast some spell outside. When we entered, there were not a few people and demons inside, and we originally planned to make a plan to save people after secretly observing, but I don't know why we were discovered. So, alarmed the trap birds. Miss Shen should have seen the rest of the story. ”
Shen Yan nodded, she really saw the rest of the things clearly. However, this uncle is also too concise.
"By the way, haven't you asked your seniors how to call them?"
The senior uncle's hand paused, and then smiled: "My surname is Gu, and my name is Gu Renfeng." ”
It seems that the parents of the seniors have high hopes for the seniors. Shen Yan said this, and suddenly there was a little familiar feeling in his heart. When she mentioned her parents, her expression couldn't help but darken.
Gu Renfeng shook his head slightly, but he still said with a little smile on his lips: "I haven't heard the second elder of the family mention it." ”
Red Peony didn't know what to approach, so she asked at this time, "I don't know what the relationship between Senior Gu and Qianji Gongzi is?"
As soon as he asked, Shen Yan realized why Gu Renfeng's name made him feel familiar. Because the name of the son of Qianji is called Gu Renyu, but the difference is just one word, doesn't it make people feel familiar?
Gu Renfeng was slightly stunned after the red peony asked, but then said: "Ayu and I are brothers. It's just that he was abducted since he was a child, and his fate was not smooth and he suffered a lot. Fortunately, with the help of nobles, he did not lose his life directly. ”
Such an answer was not unexpected, and Red Peony was silent without asking any more. Shen Yan opened his mouth and said, "So that's the case." ”
As he spoke, he saw fires rising all over the city.
Gu Renfeng suddenly said solemnly: "Okay, I know." ”
Shen Yan saw this with a puzzled look on his face, and was about to ask, when he heard Gu Renfeng say: "Miss Shen, the lord of the Red Mansion, just now the young city lord sent a message to let us enter the city. ”
"Now?" Shen Yan looked at the fires in the city, and asked with some hesitation, "But like this, you can't get in, right?"
The other uncles were obviously also receiving the news of Jinxiu, and they also gathered at this time, looking at the firelight in the city gate with solemn expressions.
"Since the young city lord said so, there must be a way to avoid these flames. Gu Renfeng said this, and took the lead in jumping onto the city tower.
After Shen Yan and the others stood in place for a while, they also jumped up to the city tower one by one, as light as a swallow.
When I was outside, I could only watch the sky-high fire through the city wall, but now I can see the situation inside more clearly from a high vantage point.
The orange-red flames formed a sea of fire at this moment, but the flames were only burning, but they did not burn anything.
Seeing this, Red Peony's right hand was raised slightly, and by the light of the fire, he could see that his hands were filled with wisps of cold air.
From beneath his feet, layers of ice gradually spread, but when they came into contact with the flames, they evaporated in an instant.
The red peony had no choice but to withdraw his hand and not explore the path of the imperial envoy Hanbing.
Gu Renfeng, who was standing beside him, twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly folded down a flag and threw it into the fire. But when I saw that the broken flag fell to the ground without the slightest damage, even in the midst of the fire, there was no trace of being burned.
"That's kind of interesting......" Red Peony whispered.
In Shen Yan's exclamation, he suddenly jumped down and landed like a red butterfly. The red-clothed hunting, there was no wind, but the clothes kept floating up and crossed one graceful arc after another in the air.
Shen Yan's eyes widened: "These flames ...... Didn't hurt the red boy?"
As she spoke, someone jumped down.
If a person can be considered an exception, but as people continue to jump and are not injured by the flames, then it proves that the flames are not actually hurting people when they look horrible.
But since you can't hurt anyone, what is the purpose of the people behind the scenes leaving these flames everywhere?
It's a puzzling thing.
Red Peony looked at it privately, raised his hand to scoop out a handful of flames, and then said, "Don't use spiritual power, you won't be injured by the flames." ”
When he said this, Shen Yan saw with sharp eyes that there were burns on the hand he had just gone to catch the flames.
Gu Renfeng sighed slightly: "Even if you are not afraid of this flame, it is also much more dangerous." ”
Not being able to use spiritual power means that their perception range will be much narrower, and if there are other dangers lurking in the shadows that cannot be detected in the first place, it will be a matter of death in an instant.
What Gu Renfeng thought of, it was naturally impossible for others to think of it.
After some deliberation, everyone decided to distance themselves, but they acted at a distance that could take care of each other.
"Renfeng, can you still contact the young city lord?" asked a more withdrawn uncle from afar.
Gu Renfeng paused, then frowned and said, "I can't get in touch." ”
The man was not surprised when he heard this, even with several other uncles, they had already contacted Jinxiu, but they couldn't get in touch with Gu Renfeng.
Red Peony didn't seem to care about this, but Shen Yan asked, "Is there something wrong with the young city lord?"
Gu Renfeng shook his head and said, "Maybe it's because you can't use your spiritual power." ....... Previously, we found a flaw in the illusion in the city in front of the Dongcheng Teahouse, and most of the young city lords will go there if they come in again this time. Now that we can't get in touch, let's go to the teahouse first. ”
Shen Yan has been outside, and Red Peony is later, and the two of them are actually unclear about the things in the city. Since Gu Renfeng had such an arrangement, the others did not raise any objections, so they didn't say anything, and followed him to the teahouse in Dongcheng.
Dongcheng is actually a large range, at first, Shen Yan didn't understand why Gu Renfeng directly said that the teahouse did not specifically explain where it was and what the name of the teahouse was. It wasn't until the group arrived that they saw that it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. The shops on either side looked like they had not been inhabited for at least three or four months, and of the vacant ones, only one of the teahouses around the corner felt a little cleaner and neater, unlike the dusty others, where someone seemed to be cleaning up all the time.
And the reason why you can recognize this as a teahouse at a glance is because of the flag floating outside, which is written in scarlet color with the word "teahouse".
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
